Surgeons Are Removing Sexual Organs From Kids and Calling It Care | Mia Hughes
Why are we surgically removing healthy breasts, testes, and reproductive organs from minors and calling it "gender-affirming care"? The explanation you'll hear is a new, "radical" take. Peter Boghossian sits down with Mia Hughes, @Genspect, to discuss her Repath Campaign, which argues (among other things) that gender dysphoria functions as a belief-based disorder rather than a clinical diagnosis. Consequently, Mia argues that gender dysphoria should be treated as a psychological condition, not managed with surgery.

Dr. Debra Soh says sex positivity killed desire, not freedom. Peter Boghossian pushes back.

Western Comfort vs China Strangleholds | Simon O'Connor
Peter Boghossian and former New Zealand National Party MP Simon O'Connor expose how naive democracies choose comfortable blindness over imminent CCP threats. By bartering core values (liberties, freedoms) for Chinese trade (cheap goodies), the West invites cultural collapse. Ignorance currently costs nothing, but deep apathy erodes our security.
